The Arduino series of microcontrollers have become one of the most popular methods of adding intelligence to your project. Even beginners can quickly get up to speed with the Arduino and soon will building complex devices that they once could only dream of.

Electronics is a fun and rewarding hobby and with a wealth of low-cost devices and components it’s never been easier to get into it. The principles of basic electronics are simple to grasp and the tools and test equipment you need is no longer a major investment.

The Internet of Things can bring the future to your home today. By interconnecting intelligent devices through the internet you’ll be able to control your entire world from your smartphone or tablet, no matter where you happen to be.

This is a fascinating field that is ripe for experimenters, especially as there are so many low-cost components available. Check out the IoT tutorials and learn more about the fascinating Internet of Things.

What started out as an educational device for schoolchildren has now become the most popular single board computer in the world. The Raspberry Pi combines incredible power, small size and low cost to make it practical to design and build devices that you could once only dream of.

Whether it’s controlling a robot, controlling your home or simply making a small computer you’ll find the Raspberry Pi is an ideal choice for your next project. Learn all about the Raspberry Pi here at the DroneBot Workshop.

Robots and automated devices were once only characters in science fiction films and books. Now they are a reality and the number of robotic devices in our homes and workplaces are increasing every day.

This is a fascinating field that anyone can get into and a lot of great advances are being made by amateur experimenters. You can join them and build your own robot – just follow these robot tutorials and learn how.

There is a wealth of software today that will make working with electronics, quadcopters and robots a lot easier. The beauty is that most of it is free open source, powerful software that you can obtain and use for no cost.
